What’s On Your Mirror?

I’m already thinking about the message I will give on Bashor Sunday at Evangel Heights United Methodist Church on Sunday, August 24th.

So I posted a request on Facebook – what short phrase or verse do you have (or should you have) on your bathroom mirror so you see it every morning?

Twenty-seven friends have posted so far – from our LOG community and from as far away as California. I have included them all below – and would be happy to receive more. There’s great wisdom to be shared. Thanks, friends!

And you are all welcome to join me at EHUM at 8:45am and 11:00am on Sunday, August 24th. I will be speaking and leading the worship. The youth from Bashor Home will be attending the later service.

Mary Lou wrote: “‘Holiness is not perfection according to the human criteria; it is not reserved for a small number of exceptional persons. It is for everyone; it is the Lord who brings us to holiness, when we are willing to collaborate in the salvation of the world for the glory of God, despite our sin & our sometimes rebellious temperament.'”

Sarah wrote: “my quote is: “in particularly rough days when I’m sure I can’t possibly endure, I like to remind myself that my track record for getting through bad days so far is 100% and that’s pretty good”. I’m planning on painting this on canvas for my home or office. I believe having hope is essential for living and Christ gives me hope.”

Shannon wrote: “I actually keep verses on my iPad because its the first thing I see in the morning (checking email, weather, my calendar etc) and thus all throughout the day. It rotates but right now I have psalm 46:5 “God is within her she will not fall; God will help her at break of day” and then Proverbs 6:24 for my wallpaper “kind words are like honey sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.” Recently I’ve had Luke 1:45 “Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!” on my fridge too- the 2nd most frequented site in my house. Ha.”
